Studies showed that a high turnover of primary care staff hinders the establishment of these relationships 33,36 . High staff turnover is linked to low salaries and inadequate working conditions 37 .…”

“…1 High health professional turnover and delays in health service provision are some of the challenges to improved case notification in the country. 4 In addition, TB is little known by the population, including by health professionals working in primary care. 5 Lack of information about TB is known to be associated with case under-reporting.…”

Objective: to identify Brazilian micro-regions with under-reported tuberculosis cases, from 2012 to 2014. Methods: this was an ecological study using data from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (SINAN). The indirect estimator of the proportion of notified cases (EIPCN) was calculated as the mean between the proportion of cases that adhered to treatment and the proportion of those who underwent sputum smear microscopy. Negative Binomial Regression was used to investigate evidence of under-reporting in the micro-regions selected through EIPCN. Results: under-reporting was suspected in 89 (17.5%) micro-regions with EIPCN below 83%. The EIPCN rate ratio in the regression model was 0.996 (95%CI 0.988;1.003) considering all the data and equal to 0.987 (95%CI 0.974;0.999) excluding the 89 micro-regions with suspected under-reporting. Conclusion: evidence of tuberculosis case under-reporting was found in micro-regions where basic indicators of surveillance system quality had poor performance.

“…A quarter of the respondents mentioned having needed to return to the Casais five times, and waiting for more than 30 days to get conclusive diagnosis, similarly to reports from rural areas in India and from interior regions of Brazil. [24][25][26][27] Traditional indigenous medicine appeared among the treatment options, but without excluding biomedicine. Both use of medicinal plants and prayer and/or shamanism, either on their own or in association with use of Western medicine, were considered in treatment.…”

Objective: to investigate access to health services for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment among indigenous peoples in Rondônia State, Brazil, 2009-2011. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study with indigenous people attending Indigenous Health Care Units (Casai) between October 2009 and February 2011; geographical, economical and functional dimensions of access to TB services were evaluated through interviews and then described. Results: 52 indigenous people with TB were interviewed; in the geographical dimension, lack of transportation, distance and lack of health professionals were the main obstacles; in the economic dimension, 15 indigenous people reported cost/expense as a barrier to access; in the functional dimension, 21 arrived at the Casai using their own means; 24 reported that the time between first symptoms and arriving at the Casai was > 30days; 25 reported that time between first consultation and starting treatment was >30 days; treatment was supervised in 22 cases. Conclusion: the difficulties found in accessing health services in the dimensions we analyzed can contribute to TB continuing to be transmitted in indigenous villages.
